The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Lost in the 2008 oscar shuffle if there will be blood and no country for old men.

I don't think that Children of Men got enough attention, but I wouldn't necessarily deem it underrated.

The one movie pretty much this entire board agrees is great, but maybe the timing was off or the marketing/PR didn't get it enough public momentum, is Edge of Tomorrow. That movie superseded my expectations by a fair amount.

Random other I'll throw in:
The Burbs

I think 50/50 is underrated as hell. Two pretty big stars (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen), great reviews, and barely made a dent in the box office and people always forget about it. Such a good movie.

As a survivor of cancer during my 20s, I can say that this movie perfectly captured the experience.

Was it thyroid cancer? Its ok if you don't answer. I've been dealing with that, just curious.

After surgery I watched Moon (2009). It was good.

This is 40 - Just a genius movie
Cinderella Man - Not sure how this doesn't ever get mentioned with great sports movies like Rudy, Hoosiers, etc. It really is one of the best and could give any of the great ones a run for it's money.

The Alamo (2004)

Virtually panned when it was released, I thought it was pretty good.

Not thyroid. The most important thing I had (and the movie captured) was a group of friends that didnt treat me any differently, wouldn't pull any punches when making jokes, basically let me forget I was sick for a while. My parents and their constant concern wouldn't let me forget that I was sick and made me feel horrible. So bad, that I had to send them back across the state to their home.

And like the movie, I did get a date with an intern. (It didn't go anywhere)

Great choice. Unlike galaxy quest this one never got the respect it deserved on the video/streaming market

Deserves a sequel but we'll never get one. Probably going to be 3 more Paul Blart movies before we get a Dredd sequel.

One of my favorite movies. LNS, Smoking Aces, and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang are my favorite action movies.

Also, I think it has been established that Can't Hardly Wait, The Other Guys, and Just Friends should be the official best movies, according to the Texags Eboard.

Oh and 50/50 is one of the movies that I know is going to make me get man allergies when I watch. It's amazing.

I was going there. Love this movie.

And really, is this not possibly the best cast ever assembled? Just from memory, no IMDB:

Christian Slater
Patricia Arquette
Chris Walken
Dennis Hopper
Gary Oldman
Sam Jackson
Val Kilmer
Brad Pitt
Michael Rappaport
Balky
Tom Sizemore
James Gandolfini

I'm sure I am missing a couple.
